UNLIMITED GOP 2012 PRIMARY CANDIDATE THREAD

[Nephew Twiddleton]

What's interesting is that even fascism, the ideology of white losers everywhere, is more acceptable than conservatism among metal band ranks.

Actually that is pretty interesting. I've since decided that if I like Burzum's new album, I'm still not going to pay for it. And I think my position on copyright is well established.

Twid,
Ashamed that he actually spent money on Det Som Engang Var

Dave mustaine was their lead guitarist before they got signed except he was drunk and high more often than they were so they kicked him out. He got pissy and formed megadeth as its singer and guitarist. Metallicas had the same singer since the beginning he just sounds different now.

As far as explicitly democratic metal bands none come to mind but there are several that have shown liberal views without going into the specifics of their politics. Its usually good policy to bitch about the system without giving party endorsements lol

I would be hard pressed to come up with a "Democrat" metal band, but there are certainly some that are fairly liberal.  Anthrax comes to mind right away.  They've been a fairly socially-conscious bands writing a lot of songs based on racism/civil-rights and so on.  Which probably makes for some very interesting conversations between Scott Ian and his father-in-law.  (Meatloaf)

Earth Crisis are a band probably on more of the extreme left-end of the political spectrum.  There pretty hard-core straight edgers, vegans, environmentalists, etc.

Oh, and then there is this that I just found:

Alex Skolnick, guitarist for classic California thrash metal band Testament, writes to us that he's endorsing Barack Obama:
<blockquote> I endorse Barack Obama. Perfect? No. But after inheriting the remnants of the Bush Administration — which was responsible for an illegal, trillion dollar war and a gutted economy — Obama has kept the auto industry alive, worked to improve the middle class and improve education. Now, after several years with an uncooperative congress, his policies are finally taking hold and things are improving (and incidentally, he's helped take out the most wanted terrorists). I'm not tied to the Democratic party in any way, its just an honest assessment. After 8 years of a President (GWB) who could barely formulate a sentence, we now have someone well-spoken, intelligent and who has shown a lot of class and dignity. And in the face of unrelenting, unwarranted personal attacks unseen in the history of the US Presidency, Obama has never once stooped down to the level of his haters.

As far as anti-facist, Laibach comes to mind.

[East Coast Hustle]

Why's it called "Megadeth" anyway? Were they dyslexic?

It's a term that referred to a million-person death count from one weapon back in the good old cold war arms race days. Kill a million people in one go? Got yourself a megadeth.

Santorum never ceases to amaze. 

Did you know that 10% of all deaths in the Netherlands are the direct result of euthanasia, and half of THOSE are forced?  That the elderly in the Netherlands are afraid to go to hospitals, for fear of being put down like rabid animals?

Diplomacy check:  FAIL.

You should write to your queen about that. You don't want to be that 5% statistic where the doctors kill you for being old because they're evil Socialists.

I do not forget... I voted for it. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Even if a person in the media is a staunch Republican, I imagine they get their jabs like this in. Either for the candidate that they're supporting, or that they're really frustrated with the field this year. Or both.

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

So, who's gonna register SantorumSurge.com?
